Moobee a film named Seamless, given viewers the idea of how garments were made and designers' process on designing collections. what it takes for fashion designers to go from good to great it's all about the original takes on garment making, all that, you don't see a bit in the film. Name seamless but little about inspirational view on design and fashion. All we can learn is how hard and tiresome designers' life is (from all different ages). It is not an inspirational film for any designers to learn and walk away with ideas and be inspired to be great, no, you would feel more of the dark and low and down fall with the emotions that may need you take sometimes to recover from feeling hopeless situation of fashion business if you are not being rich, but it isn't true. This is a film about life not a film about fashion, I dare to say there is so little telling about design and fashion and talents but more on the hardship of getting to the business. Even the winner in the end, we don't see the collection and what made them unique to win such a hard price.....shamefully made. But like I said. It's a film about life. One surprise part is to see the soft and human side of Anna Wintour.
MarieGabrielle Douglas Keeve did very well with his earlier film, 'Unzipped', a reality documentary before reality tanked to the depths of television and shows like 'Housewives of Orange County'.This film is more detailed, some virtual unknowns attempting to make it fashion designers in New York and on the international stage.There are less models, more cut-and-dry business deals, and less well known designers. In 'Unzipped' we got to hear more from Isaac Mizrahi, whom I found intriguing and interesting; this film is more of a how to for those who actually want to start from the very bottom. Its not as informative as his earlier film on a similar subject. 7/10.
geesuz Sort of the actual Project Runway. I had no expectations, but was totally drawn in by this film, a simple and candid look at the somewhat ugly innards of the fashion business. I doubt anyone without some peripheral experience or knowledge of the industry realizes how grueling it actually is; the fact that you can be touted as a success and yet still be up to your eyeballs in debt. The filmmaker did an excellent job of capturing the subjects and the tension was tangible. My personal favorite was the Russian designer of the Cloak line, I hope he succeeds in the business.Plus, you get to see Claire Danes get hit in the head with a camera.(just joking)
johnbkim1022 The director portrays these real life designers in a candid, almost vulnerable light. Fashion to most may seem like frivolous frocks featured in Vogue, but as we continue on with the film, one realizes it's far from that.The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) have created a wonderful fund that offers an up-and-coming fashion designer to apply for financial leverage ($200,000), as well as mentorship/guidance with an established company to help them through their initial years of business. As a fashion enthusiast myself, and having interned for one of the 10 finalists featured in this film, it was a refreshing look into what the fashion world really entails: The fashion shows are really secondary, the business side is crucial, and glamour really takes the backseat in more ways than one.Doo.Ri, Proenza Schouler (sp?), and the founder of Cloak are three of the 10 fund finalists that are featured. The director does an amazing job of simply letting the camera roll and portraying the frustration, anguish, and love that is put into the garments created by these talented designers.I absolutely loved the film, and it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Definitely something worth viewing if you love fashion, but even better if you live for it.
